The dude bankrupted a casino.

A casino.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

He is not good at managing large organisations, he will use the US to enrich himself and later probably flee to russia.

[–] podperson@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Also remember that he failed to sell steaks and alcohol to Americans. 2 separate companies with one product each that we can't get enough of and they both went under.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 127 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Not just once, but THREE times.

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 55 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

At first I thought you meant one casino three times. It looks like it was three different casinos with one bankruptcy each. I am not sure which is worse...

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 30 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Just remember. The house always wins. Unless you fuck up so hard you go bankrupt.

Guess he only had concepts of a business plan.

*money launder so nakedly that if the government did the absolute bare minimum of casino regulation you would spend the rest of your life behind bars

[–] jumperalex@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

So here's the thing, I am 99.99% with you on your sentiment.

But then I have to ask myself, "HOW TF is that even possible? Or was there more to it? Was that the plan ? Did he gain something bigger from doing it?"

I'm not saying he's some genius we just can't comprehend. I'm saying he's a criminal and I wouldn't put anything off the table.

But yeah, he's probably just that shitty at business; but still? I hate this timeline.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

He probably just gave himself a high salary, got even more richer than later declare casinos bankrupt. bank loans, his investors, vendors, staff lose, and he wins. He moves on to the next target. now his target is USA.

house always wins except when the house is owned by Trump

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Now, that house is the USA.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Now the house is the USA.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Now the house is the USA.

The dude let a Russian money laundering front go bankrupt once it was no longer viable.

[–] KingGordon@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

So I havent looked into this at all. Is it possible the bankruptcy was a way for him to steal his investors money and get away with it?

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Yup, steal from loans and investors.
